Mackenzie

History
Mackenzie is an unaffiliated state in the known world. It is the only state east of the Rocky Mountains, and is the origin point of a number of myths and stories about creatures and dangers found outside the known world. It is notable that the Mackenzie military spends more time training to fight these mythical threats than it does training to fight other states.
